Buffalo Chicken Poppers Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 scoop sour cream
- Flour, for coating
- Eggs, beaten, for coating
- Seasoned Panko breadcrumbs, for coating
- Cooking oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, black pepper, mozzarella cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream.
- Mix everything until well combined, creating a uniform and flavorful buffalo chicken mixture.
- Shape and Freeze:
- Take portions of the buffalo chicken mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- Place the buffalo chicken balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and transfer them to the freezer.
- Allow the chicken balls to firm up in the freezer for a few hours, ensuring they are solid enough for coating.
- Coating Process:
- Set up a coating station with three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned Panko breadcrumbs.
- Remove the buffalo chicken balls from the freezer and roll each ball in the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Dip the floured balls into the beaten eggs, making sure they are fully covered.
- Roll the coated balls in the seasoned Panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs gently to adhere.
- Frying:
- In a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet, heat cooking oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully fry the buffalo chicken poppers in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the poppers from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve:
- Allow the buffalo chicken poppers to cool slightly before serving.
- Optionally, serve with additional ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy your delicious Buffalo Chicken Poppers as a flavorful and satisfying appetizer or snack!
